Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200115 30m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45

The EFB Elektronik EC020200115 30m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45 networking cable is designed for stable high-speed wired connections. Built to Cat6a standard with overall S/FTP shielding, this 30 meter orange cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and provides reliable transmission for networked devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact resistance and reduced signal loss across the connection.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in congested cable environments. Cat6a specification allows for sustained 10 Gbps operation over the recommended distance, while gold-plated RJ-45 plugs increase corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The 30 m length offers extended reach for flexible installation without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Wired 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in small offices and home networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as server uplinks and NAS connections
• Structured cabling runs where reduced interference is required
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a visible cable colour

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring bend radius is not exceeded and shields are intact. Insert the RJ-45 connectors fully into compatible ports until the latch engages. For shielded terminations, ensure proper grounding of both ends if required by the installation to maintain shielding effectiveness. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices and test the link with appropriate network testers or software to confirm signal integrity and performance.

Recommendations

Keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise such as unshielded mains transformers and large electrical motors to preserve the S/FTP shielding advantage. Use cable management solutions to avoid sharp bends and physical strain; for permanent installations, follow local cabling standards for grounding and fire safety.
